Cox cable systems in Carthage, Lamar, about to be sold?

Today's Atlanta Business Chronicle reports that many Cox Communications cable franchises, including most or all of those in Missouri, are about to be sold to Cebridge Communications, which currently operates the cable franchise in Neosho. The article does not release any information on whether the sale would affect the franchises in Carthage and Lamar.
"The deal includes cable television systems in West Texas, serving Lubbock, Midland, Amarillo, San Angelo and Abilene areas; North Carolina, serving Greenville, Rocky Mount, New Bern and Kinston areas; Humboldt County and Bakersfield, California; and much of Middle America Cox (MAC), primarily with operations in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. MAC also includes certain systems in Oklahoma, Mississippi and Missouri," the article said. The sale is taking place to enable Cox Enterprises Inc. the parent company, to reduce debt it was left with when it took the company private last year.
